NOW ENROLLING – VET STUDENTS ONLY.

We are proud to be offering two exclusive dental internship weekend with the Peter Emily International Veterinary Dentistry Foundation this fall. This exclusive opportunity will be limited to two participants for each date. This is an opportunity to provide financial support to the Peter Emily International Veterinary Dentistry Foundation and learn from their expertise in the dental care of primates at Save the Chimps, a private sanctuary near West Palm Beach, Florida. Your tuition also includes a donation to your host organization.

You will expect to be on-site at Save the Chimps for a full work day Saturday and partial day Sunday with the dentists from the PEIVDF in order to shadow their procedures on the chimps. The goal for each of these weekend missions is to treat four chimps.  Observation is limited to two Loop Abroad students depending on location.

You will have the opportunity to ask questions and observe procedures up-close. If you like, you may join the veterinarians for lunch and/or dinner to talk about the cases, ask questions, and learn about their work in human and animal dentistry.
